My demo trade got triggered on the 11th and stopped yesterday at .7120. My area was .7 to .71 (post 7563). Did I get that area wrong?

cheers

No, sometimes that kind of thing just happens. I cannot tell you how many times you will get stopped by 5 pips. Relax, you identified the right area.....now it's only a matter of taking the right triggers. (price action)

since 1.45 was broken to the downside today, would you consider the "brick wall" (is that the name?) setup for a long not valid anymore?

or wasn't it a long you meant? are you waiting to break the 1.45 -1.445 (2002 lows) area to go further down?
No, I was thinking up. It didn't happen to trade that way today. However, we could still get a signal on the weekly.....daily, etc. I would wait to see a nice bar on the daily, or better yet the weekly.

If it makes you feel any better, I lost about 150 pips on that one too.

Looked like a good setup too, did not expect it to come down again after that pin.

excellent! As long as I'm doing things right I don't mind losing, it's part of the job. Thanks!

Hello Chris and everyone,

Reading through the first pages of the thread do you take only trend trades Chris? Or if the location & story behind the PA is really great does it override the trend factor for you?

Am asking because I usually take trend trades but sometimes there's just crystal clear CT opportunities. Like currently in GBPCHF.

Trend is clearly down on ANY timeframe >= Daily. But on March 1st price hit 1.6000 RN and was strongly rejected. Then on March 15 sellers pushed through 1.6 BUT next day buyers took control through a very nice engulfing bar. To me this means that all sellers who sold the break of the March 1st low are now either stopped out or in pain and the path was cleared for longs.

Thanks!

I agree....I think that the knee jerk reaction only sets up possible longs coming up. Take a look at this chart on the 4 hour.....it seems to be trying to build a base, and truthfully....would a EUR bounce be so hard to imagine after the precipitous fall it had????

It is starting to look more and more like a "rounded bottom". It's a formation I don't necessarily trade much, but it's pretty clear so far at least.

That's interesting. Do you find that your trend trades do better than you ct ones? Or your profitability is about the same for both trend & ct trades? Just curious, because I find that the trades that hurt me most are ct ones.
